Let me out
You only let me in so you could string me up
Like a violin and play me like a song
Something that you called, hallelujah

Let me out
You only keep me so you can breathe me up
When the air is thin
Deep and everlong
‘Till you feel the calm come into ya

I was a fool to think that you were ever mine
I'm just a phantom in the opera of your mind

Let me out
I’ve been trapped inside for so long now
An angel of the music in your head
I sail the river red running through ya

I was a fool to think that you were ever mine
I'm just a phantom in the opera of your mind

Forever in these halls I shall remain
The keeper of your truth and all your pain
Floating, falling in your sweet anticipation

I was a fool to think that you were ever mine
I'm just a phantom in the opera of your mind
